Minnesota SF5106 establishes wildfire safety plans for utilities and limits their liability for wildfire-related damages.

Minnesota SF5106 mandates that electric public utilities and electric transmission providers create wildfire mitigation plans. These plans must include details on service territory, vegetation management, and procedures for de-energizing power lines to prevent wildfires. The plans must be approved by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission and published on the utility's website within 30 days. The bill also limits the liability of utilities for wildfire-related damages, provided they substantially complied with their approved plans.
